Omg me too!!!

This liquid diet is bruuutal. I'm on day 4 of 5 and I'm so hungry. The other days were filled with head hunger and sucked in their own way. But today...omg my stomach just keeps growling.

Hi everyone! My date is Sept. 16th. On day 3 of the Pre-Op diet. This is so hard! But I have definitely stayed determined and focused no matter how cranky or tired I get. Also, has anyone had a pickle on this diet? I have heard very mixed responses. Can't wait for this liquid diet to be done. lol

It is so Brutal! But a few days out of our lives will be SO worth it once we're on the other side of this journey! Stay strong!

I’m curious to hear the answer to this too, I had a bite of a pickle on day three of my pre-op. I couldn’t help it I wanted something that I can chew on. But I haven’t done it again. Lol. I think I read that the risk is due to the high salt content.

Too all those now on their pre-op diets...I am on Day 17 of my pre-op diet. You read that correctly, Day 17. I have to do a 28 day liver shrinking diet. 4 protein shakes, 1 lean and green meal, and 1 serving of sugar free jell-o. No matter what your pre-op diet, it gets better! The first 3 days were tough, but now I am smooth sailing through it!

11 days to go for me! Pre-op surgeon visit this Friday and medical clearance with my primary on Monday.

My surgery is in turkey on september 17th . I travel the 15th . So excited

I have a question has anyone else not had to do a pre op diet ? My surgeon said there was no need .

I have today and 4 more days to go on my liquid diet. This is no fun. LOL> I'm soooooo tired of sweet stuff. The broth is my only saving grace and the Popsicles to chew on. I can and will complete this though!! You are all doing great. Less then a week to a new beginning!
